Advances on the book frontier

A number of important advances have been made today, in terms of the categoryi module's compatibility and feature-matching with the book module. The first stable version of the book wrapperi is now available: this allows book-dependent modules to interact with category (particularly modules that import and export book data); and it allows category data to be maintained in the book database table.

The category_export module has also just been released. This module implements the 'printer-friendly version' functionality available in the book module. Category_export makes use of the export API that has now been ported from book to category. With the book wrapper enabled, other modules such as export_dxml (Export Drupal XML) can also make use of this API.

Category_export and the book wrapper are still very new, so please be patient with any bugs encountered, and help to improve stability by reporting bugs and (if possible) submitting patches.
